Chapter 231: Restraint (I)
Garnett started the game very quickly today, and although he didn't get a pass after grabbing the rebound, the Celtics' offense fell into a positional battle. www.biquge.info But Rondo had the ball in possession of the Pistons' half court, and he was extremely active outside the three-second zone on the left to ask for the ball from Rondo.
The Pistons are not your average team, their defense is very layered, and they don't rely solely on the packs of a certain star, which gives Garnett the opportunity to pass the ball.
Garnett got the basketball and looked around, and all the players on the Celtics had opened up space for themselves. Moving his feet nimbly, Garnett quickly turned his back into a faceframe attack.
Garnett dribbled forward to the basket with a face, looking fierce, Rashid hurriedly defended sideways, but at this time, he suddenly made an extremely gorgeous and quick turn to dodge Rashid's defense, and went straight to the Pistons' basket and dunked it.
Garnett's dunk made the entire TD North Shore Welcome Arena cheer wildly, but this could not affect the Pistons in the slightest, in the cheers of the whole court, in the celebration of the Celtics, Billups calmly took the baseline ball, slowly controlling the slow advancement of the basketball.
The Pistons were unaffected, and by the time the Celtics were still running as tightly as a machine. Billups and Rashid made simple screens, then passed the ball to Prince on the baseline.
Hamilton's off-the-ball run is a mystery to others, but to Ray. Allen didn't have much of an impact, and he followed closely behind the defense, leaving Hamilton with poor receiving positions and shooting opportunities, but he was the Pistons' most reliable scorer.
Prince's shooting talent was average, and he relied on Pierce's shot to miss it again.
Garnett's position to grab the rebound this time was not very good, he had to rely on his super bounce to pull the basketball outside, Rondo got the basketball, and the Celtics switched from defense to offense.
For a young player like Rondo, the fast break is his favorite, and Rondo got the basketball, turned around and rushed towards the Pistons' half, at which point the Celtics suddenly increased the pace of the offense.
After Rondo pulled the rhythm up, he felt that he was clearly underestimating the Pistons' defense! The Pistons' retreat at this time was still very timely and in place, blocking all positions very well.
The Pistons did a good job defensively, and Rondo immediately passed the ball to Ray on the sideline. Aaron's hand, Ray. Allen got the basketball and held the ball with a slight pause.
Thunder. Allen's three-pointer is also a key point of the Pistons' defense, and his abrupt pause here makes the Pistons' tight defense suddenly break a hole.
And then Ray. Allen dribbled and rushed towards the Pistons' basket, and he sudden, drilled past Prince's defense, and then hit a one-handed throw in front of Antonio.
The Pistons, who had been resting for many days, were a little out of shape, and they made a mistake in the coordination in the reverse offense, and the Celtics seized the opportunity to score two points through Pierce to start the game with a wave of 8-0 climax.
This forced the Pistons to call a timeout.
The situation on the court changed quickly, and the Pistons only hit the first shot by Billups in the fourth minute of the game, but they woke up at this point. The Pistons' old guys are in a bad decline, but their tactical rationality, mutual tacit cooperation, and Billups' stable court control ability can always make them turn over unconsciously in a difficult situation.
The piston was on track and Ray. Allen's two consecutive missed shots made him no threat from the outside, and the defense shrank, and the Celtics' offense began to struggle.
Although the Pistons made just 7 of 19 shots in the first quarter, they trailed only 17-22.
Before the start of the second quarter, Rivers replaced Shi Lei and replaced Ray. Allen was replaced, and in the previous two rounds of the playoffs, Ray Brown. Allen has never been able to find the feeling of shooting, Rivers did not dare to give him another chance to adjust in this game, the Pistons are not the Cavaliers, nor the Hawks, once they have the momentum, it will be quite difficult to reverse them.
Shi Lei came on the court, but it liberated Hamilton, his loach-like running kung fu is not something that Shi Lei can understand now, Hamilton scored 2 points with an easy jump shot.
Observing the time of the quarter from the court, Shi Lei thought that this game should work on the rhythm. The Pistons' players are old, and they will definitely be a shortcoming in terms of physical strength, and their benches, there are no players who can handle it.
It's certainly not good to compare experience with the old players, but if you compare the body, this path is a good choice.
Thunder. Aaron was not on the field, and Shi Lei was Rondo's first point of play. After getting the basketball, Shi Lei made a gesture to his teammates.
In the eyes of ordinary fans, the Pistons' style of play is very boring, but in the eyes of experts, their style of play is very beautiful, each of their runs is so clear, and the responsibilities of several people are also very reasonable.
As soon as Shi Lei was about to make a move here, the Pistons' defense began to act, but after Shi Lei finished the gesture, he threw the basketball back and put it back into Rondo's hands, turned around and ran to the left sideline area.
The Pistons' defense was stretched wide at this point, and Rondo found a passing route and passed the basketball to Garnett on the inside.
Garnett received the pass, and Rashid stepped up his defense, and Garnett saw that the opportunity was not right and moved the basketball back to the perimeter.
Shi Lei happened to run to the low post on the left side at this time, and the position from the basket was also very good.
This is a very suitable space for shots, but Shi Lei did not do this, as soon as he received the ball, he cut into it in one step.
Last season, the Pistons were killed by James like this, so for Shi Lei, whose technical characteristics are very similar to James, they quickly responded to the strategy that had already been prepared.
Well, this is against James, but now it is being used on Shi Lei.
At this time, clinging to Shi Lei was Prince. Last season, Prince's defense against James was unsuccessful, and this season, he is a year older, and of course he can't limit Shi Lei's breakthrough.
After Shi Lei cut in brutely, Rashid pulled out of the inner line and stood on the route he was on. (To be continued.) )
